-Alternatively, DNS queries are replaced with 127.0.0.1 the loopback address, (the same address as the client making the DNS request). Again, the URL will be blocked.  FreshTomato does not use this method. 
  
 For Adblock to work properly, client devices **must be configured** to use FreshTomato's IP address (dnsmasq) as their DNS server. This can be done either by static IP configuration (on the device itself) or through FreshTomato's DHCP Service. For the latter method you would first enable DHCP under Basic/[[network|Network]]. To enable the actual DNS server, select "Use internal DNS" under Advanced/[[dhcp_dns|DHCP/DNS]]. These two steps are mandatory, as clients bypassing FreshTomato's DNS server will not have their ads blocked. For Adblock to work properly, client devices **must be configured** to use FreshTomato's IP address (dnsmasq) as their DNS server.
